Restrictions on ASF presentation
Hi guys, I am speaking in september this year in front of a java user group. Its a small audience of lets say 10 people or so. They want to learn about the ASF, how it all works, what projects are running and the apache way. I think its ok for me to make up a small presentation myself. Or do I have any restrictions or something, besides not to speak about things on the private lists?

There are no restrictions other than accurately representing yourself (i.e.- I am a committer/member/officer). I'm also interested in this as I also plan to do the same kind of presentation to the local JUG in Toulouse, France. It would actually be nice to have a shared presentation on this subject that everybody can reuse. Anyone is welcome to use the materials from my previous presentations on The Apache Way: http://www.slideshare.net/jaaronfarr/presentations If someone wants the original Keynote file, I can provide that too. -- J.

We should really have a central place for us to put all these... I for one would be happy to put all my ASF/AC preso's in one single ASF location. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: community-unsubscr...@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: community-h...@apache.org

Publish is limited to comdev PMC members. I doubt it would be a problem adding you to the PMC if you so desire, in the meantime just fire a quick mail to d...@community.apache.org and we'll regen the site whenever instructed to. We don't yet have an appropriate section for the site so just create a new page and we can link it from starting points on the home page. Actually, while I'm at it, our site is starting to get more and more content. We'd welcome some help in getting some proper structure in there.

Re: Liberal corporate open source policies

It doesn't have to be a web startup, but that's a good example. This is an interesting question. I was recently asked to help with exactly this issue and I also struggled. Any pointers towards sample policies or articles that help achieve these objectives? Or commentary on what aspects of typical open source polices noticeably constrain or don't constrain participation? Here's what I told the company that asked me about this: A healthy policy would look like the outline you describe, some (off the top of my head) statements that would be appropriate are: - we're a business, our goal is to serve our customers - sometimes we can do that best by collaborating on appropriate open source solutions - we will participate as and when we feel it is appropriate for our business and the broader community - we will encourage our development staff to lead our engagement with open source projects - we will do so with full respect for other members of the community - we expect to have only as much influence over a project as our contributions deserve - we will honour all trademarks policies and licences relating to the projects - we will seek to ensure the ongoing sustainability of the projects through our positive and collaborative contributions I'd be really interested to hear peoples comments or pointers to real policies out there.
